Abstract
It is demonstrated that a significant improvement in the breakdown voltage of an SOI (silicon-on-insulator) MOSFET can be achieved by stress-induced damage to the source/body junction. The damage serves to degrade the injection efficiency of this junction and thus suppresses the parasitic lateral bipolar associated with source/body/drain. The experiment indicates the usefulness of source engineering to the latch problem
